Bloodworks Northwest in Oregon

Bloodworks Northwest is a network of excellence for all things blood -- serving nearly 90 hospitals in Washington, Oregon and Alaska.
We are non-profit, independent, volunteer-supported and community-based. The name is new, but we have 70 years of Northwest history and 250,000 donors behind us. We started in 1944 supporting hospitals in King County (Seattle) WA, and later became Bloodworks NW. Locally we were known (until recently) as the Oregon and Southwest Washington Blood Program.

Today BloodworksNW provides more than half of all lifesaving blood components used by patients and hospitals in Portland and surrounding region.
BloodworksNW was selected as the primary supplier of blood components for both Legacy Health and for Providence Health in Portland. In addition to Legacy and Providence hospitals, we are the exclusive provider of blood to PeaceHealth SW Medical Center in Clark County and PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center in Cowlitz County. We have supplied these hospitals since the nineties.

Your Community Needs Your Help

There are many ways you can help patients
right now in your own back yard.
In the year ahead, Bloodworks will provide 46,000
units of blood to local patients, families, and
communities served by our network, but we expect
to collect only 11,000 in the area. Our ability to close
this gap depends on community support. So we’re
asking you to give blood, organize a blood
drive, or volunteer at one. Working together, we
can help save local lives every day.
